Premium Bond Winner ?

I won £25 per year in 17, 18 & 19 on £2300 which is pretty poor (although I guess it's just over 1%), I just registered online and that's as far back as it shows (although I've held some since the late 80's), I think before that I'd not won for a few years. I've decided to go 'all in' (with santander reducing the 123 interest) and gone up to £25,000 will see in 6 months if it makes much difference and is worth it.

2 x £25 on max holding. 2 months away from hitting a run of 24 consecutive winning months.

The pessimist in me is now instinctively expecting the "unlucky" message every month because "I'm due one"!

Nothing on 100k for myself and MrsP.

Won £100 ( and not 4 x £25). Most I've ever won! Holding £15,200

I was surprised that I won £100 today, especially when I'd won £25 in November, thought I'd had my luck then! I only had about £1100 and when I looked closely, both wins were in a batch of £50 I bought last April, just a few numbers apart. I've just bought another £3,000 worth but not really expecting my luck to last.

I didn't get anything this month which wasn't too much of a surprise as I'd raided the account quite heavily and cashed in most of the bonds to clear a tax bill, so most likely number of prizes for Feb was zero.

But looking back from Feb '19 to Jan '20 I see I had exactly 24 prizes on my £49.9k in the twelve months. Two is the most likely number of prizes in any given month on that balance, and the fact that they were all £25 is not surprising either, because 98% of all prizes are.

So I got exactly what I expected, which was great - the account did just what I hoped. The highest number of prizes in any month was five in March, the lowest was one.

Logged in to check my wins as couldn't wait for an email (or no email!), it seems people get the email on different days and I just want to know instead of hoping for a few days then not getting an email.
This month I have won £25 on my almost max holding.
Was hoping for more but really just because of a good win last month! At least it is something as I know some people won't have got anything this month so I am grateful!
